Otaru Hotels with Parking

Best hotel of my trip. The service was impeccable and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything is so thoughtful. The food was excellent and the room is huge. The onsen was awesome and looks beautiful

The location is quite nice, just a 10–15 minute walk to the main shopping street. The hotel uses a self-service check-in system, but the process is straightforward and not difficult at all. The room is surprisingly spacious, with a kitchen and laundry area, which was very convenient. However, the bed sheets and bedding are quite old, so it would be great if the owner could consider replacing them with new ones. The main issue during our stay was the gas canisters stored right in front of the entrance. I understand that they may be necessary for heating or other purposes, especially during the harsh winter. However, unfortunately, the gas smell got into our room, which made it uncomfortable and difficult to sleep. We had to keep the window open throughout the night to reduce the smell. I would strongly recommend that the owner consider storing the gas canisters somewhere else, away from the entrance and guest rooms. I think this would significantly improve both the comfort and safety of the stay.

1. Hotel is 8mins walk from Otaru train stn/ bus stn. 2. Surrounded with many restaurants and walking distance to Sankaku market, Otaru canal as well as Sakaimachi Hondori street. 3. Room size was just nice, and bed were comfortable 4. Free coffee and biscuits provided from 7am-6pm. 5. For the breakfast you can choose between Japanese or Western breakfast. 6. No self service laundry facility on-site. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

This is a comfortable boutique hotel in Otaru. The room is cozy with the barrel the most interesting feature that doubles up as a table and a fridge. The buckwheat pillow is comfortable for a good night rest. What impressed me the most is the breakfast. There is a wide array of food including seafood and fresh milk. Onsen is comfortable too. Overall I will strongly recommend this hotel in Otaru as it’s still new and tip top service and amenities.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The historic building has a lot of character, and the music box theme perfectly matches Otaru's style. The service was as warm and welcoming as ever. This time, I especially want to commend them for finally making the pajamas complimentary – a management that listens to feedback, haha!

Facilities: The hotel is quite old, and while the facilities are in good condition, they aren't exactly modern. Surprisingly, there's a vintage audio system that plays music with a great ambiance from a bygone era. The sound quality also has that classic feel, which I loved. It's definitely worth experiencing this unique charm that other hotels don't offer. Service: Standard hotel service, but they upgraded my room without me even asking, which was a nice touch! Transportation: Even though the hotel is on a mountaintop, they offer a shuttle service to the nearest JR station, which is a huge plus. The Otaru Aquarium is just a few steps away, and the dolphin show is fantastic, plus the penguins are adorable. Scenery: This hotel probably boasts the most unique coastal cliff views in Otaru. It's truly postcard-worthy, and the best part is being able to enjoy it while soaking in the hot spring during the day. The scenery is beautiful and enjoyable. At night, however, you can't see anything. Hygiene: Standard hotel cleanliness. Food: I only stayed overnight and didn't try the food.

Cozy Inn is superb, can easily be reached by bus or by car. Plenty of parking spaces. Room is big and clean. Close to Aeon and Daiso. Walkable to the canal if you are not driving. Check in uses machine and strictly only after 3pm, so do not come early. Overall, I highly recommend!

March 20, 2026 The hotel is about a 22-minute walk from Otaru Bus Station. The furthest I walked was to the vicinity of the Music Box Museum, which took about half an hour. I walked everywhere to save on transportation costs, and I felt it was a pretty ideal distance. On my first day, after checking out from my previous hotel in Sapporo, I arrived around 1:30 PM local time. The day before, the Trip.com app concierge contacted the Chinese owner, who said I could check in early for free. So, upon arrival, I just entered the main door password, went inside, and used the iPad on the table to scan my passport photo for check-in. It was incredibly smooth. I was so tired that I slept until dark. The property is a detached house (a 'one-family build' villa) with two floors. Each room accommodates independent guests. Only my room (104) and another room on the first floor do not have private toilets or bathrooms; all other rooms have en-suite facilities. So, I only needed to coordinate my bathroom and shower times with one other guest. There are two public showers and one public toilet. During my stay, the other guest and I were very considerate when using the facilities, and it didn't affect our usage at all, which was great. Room 104 is the first room upon entering, which was very convenient for my oversized luggage. The private room itself was also very spacious. On the table were bath towels, hand towels, and a one-piece pajama. I slept very well. The value for money is super high, and I'm extremely satisfied.

This apartment offers a practical and comfortable stay, especially for those looking to explore Otaru on foot. We appreciated the basic utensils and cutlery provided, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The thoughtful inclusion of toothbrushes and toothpaste was a nice touch, and the microwave was handy for quick reheats. Comfort is well-addressed with one air-conditioner and a heater, ensuring a pleasant temperature regardless of the weather. The washing machine was a huge convenience, and we had options for drying clothes either on the hanger stand inside the room or on the balcony. The location is a major highlight, being within easy walking distance to both Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Street. We also found it convenient to have a Lawson and various eateries nearby, though it's a good idea to check their opening hours as they can vary. Important Considerations for Your Stay While the location is excellent, it's important to note that the road leading to the building is steep. This could be particularly challenging if you're driving, and we would not advise driving during winter due to the road conditions. For those with a car, there are two parking areas available. The closer one has three slots, while a slightly further option offers approximately 12 slots. Keep this in mind, especially if you prioritize a closer parking spot.

This hotel is super close to Otaru Station and the canal, just a few minutes' walk away. Right across the street, there's a 7-Eleven and a grocery store, plus tons of great food options nearby. It's incredibly clean, and the pure cotton bedding makes for a really comfortable sleep. The owner is also very kind! It's an ideal place to stay, and I'd definitely come back again!
